Boldface denotes significance.
AOR, adjusted odds ratio.
AOR (for confounders: sociodemographics, hospital characteristics, the Charlson Comorbidity Index, and other cardiac risk factors, including tobacco abuse, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cannabis use, and obesity).
A beta coefficient in regression analysis represents the change in the dependent variable for each 1-unit increase in an independent variable, holding all other variables constant.
